Geoff Maple CMILT writes in his Charterd Institute of Logistics and Transport Focus review:
"Overall, this is a book in two halves, stitched together by case studies. The first half is a compendium, or global atlas, of the world's international trade, outsourcing markets and logistics industries. Detailed statistics about a nation's international trade, GDP, population, etc can be found in any atlas, but this book brings them all together into a logistics context throughout the chapters on outsourcing market, regional logistics markets, outsourcing operations and services, and major providers...Other elements of the compendium half are equally useful, such as the definition of terms and concepts within global logistics.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Almost as an exception to the rule in regard to books in the area of sport management and marketing, the authors have found a fine balance between providing a strong research based foundation to the book, and a popular writing style that makes the book accessible to professionals working in the sport industry, sport lovers and academics in sport business. They take the reader from the origins of sport, to the commercialised present.

I purchased this book because I am genuinely interested in getting my first board position and I thought it would offer practical suggestions for getting there. It does but the book is also fantastic if you suffer from insomia! I have fallen asleep a number of times reading it. The userful tips are interspersed with very large dull,dry chunks of theory, it reads like somebodies masters dissertation. There must be other more useful guides for getting that board position, even distilling the useful bits into a factsheet would be better than committing yourself to a week of reading all the bits you don't need to know.

I have found this book very useful for new change consultants who are venturing out into a global environment, this at least prepares people to think about cultural norms and the way in which certain societies generally view the world, get along with each other and make decisions.. Be cautioned this is not an approach to stereotype cultures, rather to provide the student with an understanding of the normal cultural drivers.
It is not a cookbook of how-to's. It a research report into how cultural differences underlay everything you want to accomplish.
While the book is titled Cultures and Organisations, it is really about ethnic cultures, not corporate cultures.

I thought the book went into too much detail for a novice, but for intermediate investors who hunger for more information about the currncy markets, this is it
